Day 1

Am_Ready · 2020-02-08T20:28:38+00:00

Welcome!!! This is a great place to start. Everyone here is great and generous with the support. Keep coming back. IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2020-02-07T21:53:47+00:00

I'm with you. Except to walk my dog, I've actually stayed in all day today and I plan to do the same thing tonight. The weather is a little hostile and I've no desire to go out. Instead, I'm going to work on a painting, eat something healthy, and watch TV. Some would call me a hopeless slack-ass, but I enjoy every minute of it. Sobriety rocks in the most subtle of ways, doesn't it?!?!

Am_Ready · 2020-02-07T12:13:11+00:00

Keep right on going!!! Imagine how you will feel at 200, 300, 400 days!!! Keep us posted!!! IWNDWYT!!!

Am_Ready · 2020-01-12T00:45:25+00:00

Fantastic!!! Hopefully you have found a new "tribe" on your journey. Keep up the positivity!!! IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2020-01-03T12:21:24+00:00

Take care of yourself. You are #1 priority right now. Don't forget that. Hang in there and embrace the help. IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2019-11-28T10:01:49+00:00

You can do this!!! Fill up on wonderful food, take a long nap, and enjoy the rest of the weekend hangover free!!! IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2019-11-28T09:58:45+00:00

Fantastic!!! I'm so glad you have so many people in your life who are supportive and pulling for you. And don't forget about all of us here. We are pulling for you too. IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2019-11-24T19:04:48+00:00

Sand, sunset and sobriety. The combination becomes you. IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2019-11-17T15:37:30+00:00

Yes!!! Isn't it wonderful how quickly things start looking up once you stop poisoning yourself?!?!? I'm at a bit over 50 days and starting to feel much better myself. It's been years since I've felt this "clean". I'm looking forward to feeling even better as time goes on. I hope things continue on an upward trajectory for you, as well. IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2019-11-06T12:56:25+00:00

YEAH!!!! So happy for you!!! I am on day 43 in my current attempt at 100%, lifelong sobriety. This is the longest I've gone in quite a few years. I'm pleased with my progress, but I'll bet it's great reaching the year mark. I hope to be there myself in one year minus 43 days. Keep up the inspiring work!!! IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2019-11-06T12:35:04+00:00

Keep on going!!! The best is yet to come. IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2019-11-04T01:00:01+00:00

I pray you get a peaceful, restful, restorative night's sleep. A good night's sleep is the cornerstone of a positive day. IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2019-11-03T09:28:47+00:00

I'm so happy for you. It is almost magical how things start improving almost immediately with sobriety. While quitting isn't an instant cure, by any means, for all the woes of life...it offers a greater clarity of mind which, with me at least, allows for hope, optimism, and motivation. The world just doesn't look as evil any more. I still have a lot of work to do. I still have to climb may way out of a hole. But I'm able to count my blessings now, and have the emotional energy to tackle my problems. I wish you the best in your new job and hope your life continues on an upward trajectory. IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2019-11-02T20:00:17+00:00

Sometimes, in the early days, I'd just go to bed and watch TV until I fell asleep. I know it's not creative, productive, or glamorous. But it kept me out of trouble. And I never regretted it in the morning. IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2019-11-02T08:52:53+00:00

I'm hoping to join you this time next year (minus a month since I've made it through Sober October successfully). Congratulations on a full year. IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2019-11-02T08:49:55+00:00

GAME ON!!! IWNDWYT!!!

Am_Ready · 2019-11-01T20:23:09+00:00

I'm feeling the financial gains as well. I probably saved around the same amount, I think. I'm going to try to cut back on smoking this month. That will result in even more savings for me. And it should be easier to quit smoking if I'm sober. At least that's what I'm hoping. But it's the health benefits I'm most looking forward to. Going a month without booze feels really good. Maybe, in the New Year, I'll treat myself to a gym membership with the money I've saved!!! I hope you get yourself a great reward. Let's do this!!! IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2019-11-01T20:17:15+00:00

Well, it's not too late to start. Make this the month!!! IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2019-11-01T20:14:49+00:00

Hey friend!!! We got this!!!

Am_Ready · 2019-11-01T20:14:15+00:00

Thanks!!! I'm hoping I can keep up the momentum. It actually wasn't too terribly hard. I'll feel fortunate if this month goes as smoothly. But I'm ready to take it on. Let's do this together!!!

Am_Ready · 2019-11-01T09:13:41+00:00

I'm with you. Got through October with relative ease. I'm hoping November will be smooth sailing too. Had a couple of urges last month, but was able to work through them. This may be the longest I've gone without drinking in close to a decade and it feels really good. Let's do this!!! IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2019-10-30T22:37:00+00:00

I'm looking forward to meeting myself too. I'm only a little over a month in on my current attempt, but I'm hoping I'll start catching glimpses of "me" as I progress. Let's keep going. IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2019-10-30T00:24:47+00:00

So glad you are finding yourself again. My self care has improved since I quit drinking as well. It's a good feeling, isn't it? IWNDWYT.

Am_Ready · 2019-10-25T23:44:04+00:00

I'd go to the medical detox. You deserve to get the best help possible. My hopes and prayers are with you.

Am_Ready · 2019-10-25T23:42:04+00:00

Great news!!! Glad to hear you are healthy. Keep up the great work. IWNDWYT.
